There is a difference between intelligence and wisdom; Cersei possesses the former.

Cersei possesses the former in greater quantities than the latter. That doesn't mean that she possesses it in particularly impressive quantities.

Badass hip-hop anthem about Game of Thrones. You can download it as an MP3. My interest in the series waned over the course of the books (to the point where I did not finish the last) but this is cool.

Well, the events of the book kind of got thrown out the window this week, but I wasn't really disappointed. There were some great Tywin and Arya scenes, and moment with Jon Snow (episode spoiler) and Ygritte that I thought was hilarious and still in the spirit of their relationship in the book.

I'm interested to see where they go with this. They made it pretty clear in this episode which minor characters were going to be cut from the story completely. I'm kind of sad about some of these decisions, but I'm going to trust that the scriptwriters will make it work out all right in the end.

The things that has me troubled is how much I like Tywin Lannister. :think:

My wife sat down, 'cause she needed a break from studying, to watch this episode. She knows nothing of the story or characters, but she enjoyed it for the filmmaking and story-telling. But she said, "wow, there are a lot of characters." The scene where Robb is talking with Cat and then they cut to Theon at Winterfell, the sets were similar and the lighting identical and that really threw her for a loop.

I'm not sure if the HBO writers are doing this to condense the story due to time (season episodes), or to just throw some curveballs.....either way, I like it.

As long as the story makes sense, I'm all for it....and I actually prefer not being stuck on a novel railroad.

Favorite scene from last night: watching Joffrey get hit in the side of his head with a wad of cow dung.

No, the best scene was when Tyrion pimp slaps Geoff AGAIN for being a little bitch AGAIN.

Tyrion wins. Again. Seriously, just give Peter Dinklage all the Emmies. ALL OF THEM.
